What a beautiful Mosque, Sina! I enjoy taking these trips with you because Iran is somewhere I may never get to travel. When I was a child, in the 1970-80's, I was at church and an older couple who'd been on a mission to Iran spoke to our congregation showing souvenirs and pictures and sharing beautiful stories about Iran and the people there. I thought then that I wanted to visit someday, but shortly after was the "hostage crisis," and missionaries weren't allowed to go there anymore and this divide began, but always I remember what these elder's with much light in their eyes told me as truth.
The desert and mountains look very much like Utah where I grew up.
And, looking forward to hearing about, and seeing, the next leg of the journey.
